A DIY Survival Guide for the Zombie Apocalypse

Don't be fooled by what the news, the government and basic human logic tells you. The zombie apocalypse is upon us, and you have to be prepared.

Luckily, there are plenty of helpful DIY tips on what to do when the imminent threat arrives. From TV shows like The Walking Dead to Internet forums dedicated to zombie know-how, there are thousands of ways to fortify yourself for survival.

Throw out your cardboard matchbox — the last thing you need is soggy matches.

Searching for Shelter

Every single piece of zombie lore says the same thing: stay out of the cities. And while many people will assume to build fallout shelters or camp in tents, do not be swayed by this. Haven't you ever seen Night of the Living Dead? (Spoiler alert: Everyone who went into the basement died first.)

Your best option is to find a secure, mostly concrete building with few windows and doors. And perch yourself up high. For the most part, zombies are not good climbers.

Finally, our furry friends can get in on the zombie action too with a squeaky undead foot toy.
